GO BEHIND THE SCENES WITH ANTHONY AND THE MELBOURNE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

Once-upon-a-time, a handsome Italian- Australian was runner-up on a little show called Australian Idol. Since 2004, Anthony Callea has scored the fastest selling single by an Australian artist (The Prayer), met his future husband during a production of RENT and was accidentally outed by a traffic reporter.

A decade on, Anthony and Tim have married (in New Zealand), he’s re-signed to his original record company, who dropped him after the outing, and with ARIA #1 Hits In Symphony, is aiming to repeat the chart-topping performance of 2016’s Backbone album.

Anthony’s also mad as hell about his homeland’s shameful refusal to recognise gay marriage and is not prepared to play nice anymore. Marc Andrews reports.

DNA: Gay marriage in Australia – the postal survey, the hate campaign, the waste of money – how are you feeling about it all?

About DNA Magazine

Yes! We're saying yes to same-sex marriage in Australia ahead of the nationwide postal survey – and so are dozens of celebrity supporters in our #Yes campaign! For readers outside Australia, we're sure you'll enjoy Andrew Lambropoulos on the cover anyway – yes!

They're inspirations! And there's 10 pages of hot fitness fashion shot by Russell Fleming on the Gold Coast.
It's a celebrity-packed issue with Kathy Griffin going off on Trump, and the adorable George Takei getting coy about what kind of underwear Sulu from Star Trek wore! Aussie singer Anthony Callea gets fired up about politics and his adventure with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, and Bloc Party's Kele tells us about becoming a gay dad. Aussie hunk Rodger Corser talks about his TV career, who he'd date if he was gay, and what happened when a played a zombie with no underpants!
It's Halloween soon so we found the sexiest Halloween party in LA, and one hell of a street party in New York! Speaking of travel, we continue our Honeymoon Hotspots series with stop-overs in Italy, India and a gay cruise in The Caribbean.
There's Dear Diva's wise-ass advice, The Deplorables, Month In A Minute and a great lesbian romance movie, The Battle Of The Sexes.
